"With the publishing of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and the rise of libertarian writers such as Ludwig von Mises and Henry Hazlit in the 1950s and 1960s, however, we were given a clear vision of what was necessary for “decentralization” and stopping the relentless expansion of government.

If we are to stave off and reverse freedom’s self-destruction, we will have to go back to the source of that destruction. We will have to go back to 1913 and purge our country of the two institutions established in that year that gave the federal government the power to take over our lives – the progressive income tax and the Federal Reserve.

Only when these two Marxian tools have been abolished can we stem the tide of government aggrandizement that is destroying freedom and sanity in America. All political causes that ignore these two sources of government expansion are futile. Only by denying the bureaucratic Dracula in Washington its life blood can we hope to restore what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us. The bureaucracy monster cannot grow without an income tax and inflationary monetary policy. End these two powers so ignorantly granted to Washington in 1913, and the Republic is saved. Ignore these two powers, and a horrific World Government will be our fate.

Huxley gave us a remarkable warning in 1932 with Brave New World. We must now summon the courage to act upon that warning. We must end income taxation and government banking. Only when this takes place will we be on the path to restoration of the freedom America was founded upon."
